Welcome to Crafty Jane's|Crafting with M.E|Handmade cards and gifts|My blog

I am making some changes to my website so please bear with me as some parts of the site are not working properly during the change.

In my blog I talk about all things crafty, living with ME and gluten free food, but you never know what else might sneak in.

I keep a few items in my shop, but like to make things to order and personalise makes. Please take a look at my gallery for examples of things I can make. Email me jane@craftyjanes.co.uk if you want an item making. All my cards are made in standard sizes so can be framed and kept, they can also be personalised with names and greetings.

This not a business, just a way of getting some reward for the things I make. I am unable to work due to ill health and spend many long hours on my own unable to do normal daily activities. Please do take a look and share with friends.
